Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 630

Chapter 630: 630-Dreaming Of Her Dreams

Norman:

"Don’t leave him alone for one second," I told Lamar and Penn, who had their eyes red and swollen. Of course, they had all lost a good friend, and we had lost a good student.

Ever since we called Gavin and he arrived at the morgue where her dead body had been taken, Gavin had been sitting with her and crying. I didn’t even want to be there anymore. The loss of a mate was something I couldn’t even imagine.

I had to wipe my tears in secrecy every few minutes. Sydney and Alpha Diaz had been informed, and from what I heard, Sydney had a mental breakdown too.

"I can’t see this anymore," Kaye walked up to me and whispered, turning his face away. I couldn’t imagine how Gavin’s friends must be feeling since they would have to do their best to take care of him.

"Maximus is off too," Kaye mentioned, and I noticed Maximus rubbing his face in his hands. His eyes were glistening with tears while he was listening to the warriors.

"How was Helanie when you left her at the mansion?" Kaye questioned, and my skin tightened. I recalled her behavior, and it was so odd.

"Odd," I said in one word. "Something was not right with her."

"Maybe the trauma of finding her friend did that to her?" Kaye uttered, and I began to shrug. I had no clue what had gotten into her.

As Maximus started to walk toward us to get ready to leave, I received a text from Helanie, and my whole attention was drawn to my phone’s screen.

"Dear Norman," the way the text started made my heart skip four beats, "I am Cora, Helanie’s wolf."

I narrowed my eyes, which made my brothers notice me. The way I was glued to my cellphone must have been the reason they realized something was wrong.

"What is it?" Kaye asked, and I started reading the text out loud to them.

"Dear Norman, I am Cora, Helanie’s wolf. Earlier today, when Helanie and Rune were having a face-off, he put his fingers into her temples and stole her dreams–her hopes—from her. She cannot talk about it, so I am taking over. She will be angry when I add this last sentence. It isn’t in my head. I am not losing my mind. It happened, but Helanie is not ready to admi—"

The text cut off as if Helanie had tried to take control back, so Cora hit the send button before she lost control. I saw the text getting deleted, but I had already read it.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Kaye panicked, and I was panicking too.

I knew it.
